Some people have asked what the trend in numbers looks like for the Southern Resident Killer Whales. The image to the left represents statistics generated through studies conducted by the Center for Whale Research (Dr. Ken Balcombe, PhD), tracking their numbers since 1976. The real telling thing to note is that it stops with data from 2006. Today, seven years later, and trend continues on the downslide.SRKWs are certainly imperiled, now more than ever. How do we stop this? That's what "Fragile Waters" is all about. Solutions exist....but time is running out.Food for thought.
